Description
The book ""The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms with Observations of Their Habits"" by Charles Darwin is a scientific study of the role that earthworms play in the formation of soil. Darwin's research is based on extensive observations of earthworm behavior, as well as experiments he conducted in his own garden. The book explores the ways in which earthworms ingest and process soil, and how their excrement contributes to the formation of rich, fertile soil. Darwin also examines the impact that earthworms have on the ecosystem as a whole, including their interactions with other organisms such as plants and bacteria. This book is a seminal work in the field of soil science and remains a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in the study of earthworms and their role in soil ecology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Author: Darwin, Charles
Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and author best-known for his revolutionary theories on the origin of species, human evolution, and natural selection. A life-long interest in the natural world led Darwin to neglect his medical studies and instead embark on a five-year scientific voyage on the HMS Beagle, where he established his reputation as a geologist and gathered much of the evidence that fuelled his later theories.A prolific writer, Darwin s most famous published works include The Voyage of the Beagle, On the Origin of Species, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, and The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. Darwin died in 1882, and in recognition of his contributions to science, is buried in Westminster Abbey along with John Herschel and Isaac Newton.
